The desire is too strong. Scientists Precisely Edit DNA In Human Embryos To Fix A Disease Gene Scientists have been tinkering with the DNA in humans and other living things for decades. But one thing has long been considered off-limits: modifying human DNA in any way that could be passed down for generations. Now, an international team of scientists reports they have, for the first time, figured out a way to successfully edit the DNA in human embryos — without introducing the harmful mutations that were a problem in previous attempts elsewhere. The work was published online Wednesday in the journal Nature.
I don't want to get all gattaca, but yes, once gene implantation is refined and exact humans will greatly change...and quickly. If you think the rich are overprivileged now it be unimaginable once the ones with the most resources can outsmart, outmuscle, and outlive every one else. It'll be the ultimate game changer.
